Made out GOOD!

Hey there everybody!
I made out good for round 3 and almost over any side effects. I started taking estrogen 3 weeks ago. Both my Doctors reccomnended it and it cut down some on my "chemo brain" that i had terrible in the first 2 months. I even cleaned the tub and posted new listings over that weekend - Pretty good. I had my last treatement on Tuesday and was able to wash Alex's car on Wed. - which we were selling... Thursday i taught a "chair" aerobics class at a local nursing home - and i didn't even throw up this week or anything!! The steriods will keep me a little hyped for a few days with restless legs - but i'm back to sleeping good! And i also worked at Ochmans' (a local jewelry store whose owners are SO NICE that they let me make my own hours when i need too - .... like coming in at noon today instead of 10:00 - i LOVE THEM!) So, all is good! I'm hoping to make lots of jewelry to get ready for a big area Harvest Festival on the 20th and get alot done before i have to go back on the 28th.
Alex and Drew are doing great at school. I called Alex the other day and he had 2 MINUTES BEFORE THEY WERE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES! Gotta love it......... hahaha.

You guys are just so nice to check in with me!! Thank you for all your love and support. I'm getting ready to model New Fall Hat Looks and we'll do more pictures! I'm sure you'll be at the edge of your seats for that!! :D laura xxoo

    Hi Laura! Sooo glad to hear that you are managing o.k. and that you are able to do some things. I know, those mundane things become so special to us when we can't do them and don't know when we will again! Who would know that washing a bathtub could be such a beautiful thing! Good luck with your new jewelry. Can't wait to see it!

    Glad to hear you are doing better and able to get back to some of your everyday activities. I know how important those everyday things are- we take them for granted...a little "normal" has returned to your life.

    Good to hear you are on better form! Also that those boys of yours are doing okay .... two minutes before they start video games - that so makes me smile .... Lucy is already slouching around the house with earphones attached to an ipod, I feel like I already have a teenager and she is only just six! :D

    Laura, I can't believe that you are going to model your new fall hats while washing your car in a bikini and eating a cheeseburger -that is ambitious!
